Normal Gets You Nowhere
by Meredith Bryan Kelly Cutronenor-mal: according with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule or principle / conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern / of, relating to, or characterized by average intelligence or development Normal? Who wants to be that? When Kelly Cutrone's first book, If You Have to Cry, Go Outside, was first published, young people flocked to this new voice-finally, someone was telling it like it is, in language they spoke. It quickly became a New York Times bestseller, and fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone became more than a personality, she became a beloved guru, mentor, and fairy godmother. Now she's back with another no-holds-barred book to awaken our souls and kick our asses into gear. With Normal Gets You Nowhere, she invites us to get our freak on. History is full of successful, world-changing people who did not fit in. Think Nelson Mandela, Joan of Arc, Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, John Lennon, and Rosa Parks. Instead of changing themselves to accommodate the status quo or what others thought they should be, these people hung a light on their differences- and changed humanity in the process. "I know you don't feel normal, so why are you trying to act it and prove to everyone you are?" Cutrone says. So much of what we say or don't say, and what we do or don't do, is dictated by what others have told us, or what people may think of us. This is not how we should be living, by measuring ourselves against the mundane. An invitation to rethink who you are, what you value, and what you want from life, Normal Gets You Nowhere goes beyond how to reinvent yourself and create your own brand, and investigates what it means to live in this world as a tuned-in, caring individual with a passion for making a difference. There's already an army of super talented uberfreaks changing the world-isn't it time you joined them?

Normal Broken: The Grief Companion for When It's Time to Heal but You're Not Sure You Want To
by Kelly CervantesNone of us make it through life without experiencing loss that leaves us feeling broken. That&’s what makes grief so normal.In Normal Broken, Kelly Cervantes isn&’t trying to tell you what to do, how to feel, or the right way to heal. She&’s also not flinging sunny thoughts, vibes, and prayers at you. After losing her daughter to epilepsy, she knows that grief is many things. It&’s weird. It sucks. It&’s all-encompassing. Something everyone will have to deal with. But never linear. Just as what we are grieving varies, so do our journeys to process it.Normal Broken was born out of this desire to meet people where they are in their grief journeys, to lend a hand, or maybe to just sit in the dark with them. To acknowledge your brokenness and to feel broken together—never pressured to &“move on&” or &“think positive.&”With chapters that can be read in any order, Normal Broken is divided into &“moments&” of grief that will allow you to choose what you need at any given time—such as:When you&’re not sure if you want to heal When your greatest fear is socializingWhen you&’re facing anniversaries and other meaningful datesWhen you&’re ready to be okay Kelly also shares stories from her ongoing journey, along with advice she wishes someone had given her, and simple exercises to help you reflect on where you are. Normal Broken is designed to serve as a companion through your own grief journey, whether you are mourning the loss of a child, a friend, a family member, or anyone special in your life.
The Normal Bar: The Surprising Secrets of Happy Couples and What They Reveal About Creating a New Normal in Your Relationship
by Pepper Schwartz Chrisanna Northrup James WitteBased on data obtained from nearly 100,000 respondents, here is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to learn the relationship-tested ways couples can achieve satisfaction and contentment in areas such as communication, sex, affection, and financial cooperation.What constitutes "normal" behavior among happy couples? What steps you should take if that "normal" is one you want to strive for? To help answer those questions, wellness entrepreneur Chrisanna Northrup teamed with two of America's top sociologists, Yale Ph.D. Pepper Schwartz and Harvard Ph.D. James Witte, to design a unique interactive survey that would draw feedback from around the world. What has resulted is the clearest picture yet of how well couples are communicating, romancing each other, satisfying each other in the bedroom, sharing financial responsibilities, and staying faithful - or not. Since the Normal Bar survey methodology sorts for age and gender, racial and geographic differences and sexual preferences, the authors are able to reveal , for example, what happens to passion as we grow older, which gender wants what when it comes to sex, the factors that spur marital combat, how kids figure in, how being gay or bisexual turns out to be both different and the same, and -regardless of background -- the tiny habits that drive partners absolutely batty.The book is dense with revelations, from the unexpected popularity of certain sexual positions, to the average number of times happy - and unhappy -- couples kiss, to the prevalence of lying, to the surprising loyalty most men and women feel for their partner (even when in a deteriorating relationship), to the vivid and idiosyncratic ways individuals of different ages, genders and nationalities describe their "ideal romantic evening."Much more than a peek behind the relationship curtain, The Normal Bar offers readers an array of prescriptive tools that will help them establish a "new normal." Mindful of what keeps couples stuck in ruts, the book's authors suggest practical and life-changing ways to break cycles of disappointment and frustration.

Norberto Rivera: El pastor del poder
by Bernardo BarrancoMás que una obra anticlerical o anticatólica, éste es un esfuerzo colectivo por conformar una sólida imputación a una fallida aventura de la Iglesia que apostó por la disciplina y la regresión. Alberto Athié - Eugenia Jiménez Cáliz - Guadalupe Loaeza - Fátima Moneta - Marilú Rojas Salazar - Mónica Uribe - Rodrigo Vera - Jenaro Villamil El libro que tiene en sus manos es una colección de ensayos críticos sobre el desempeño del arzobispo Norberto Rivera. No se busca una falsa neutralidad, por el contrario, son textos de denuncia donde intelectuales, periodistas y activistas de derechos humanos sustentan con hechos los excesos y extravíos del cardenal. Los autores documentan la trayectoria de un personaje que en nombre de la ortodoxia moral ha condenado las causas de las mujeres, los homosexuales, los no creyentes y las minorías. Como sedocumenta a lo largo de estas páginas, Norberto Rivera es un claro ejemplo de que la impunidad y el fuero religioso es una regla no escrita de la política mexicana. El prelado es intocable no sólo por su condición de alto clero, sino por su hermandad con el poder. Más que como pastor o líder espiritual, dice Bernardo Barranco, "el cardenal encarna al obispo sinuoso, rodeado de lujos, protector de pederastas, centavero, solapador a conveniencia propia y de sus amigos: actores de doble moral dentro y fuera de la Iglesia". Otros autores han opinado: "Tantas razones para la desilusión con la cúpula de la Iglesia católica y su representante en México, Norberto Rivera. Y este libro enuncia los motivos de este desencanto, persistente y dolorosamente. Marcial Maciel, pederasta. Juan Pablo II, encubridor. Legionarios de Cristo, cómplices. El personaje principal de esta obra, omiso. Difícil reconocerlo, entenderlo, admitirlo. Pero es la verdad que lleva años allí; que algunas víctimas valientes han denunciado; que algunos escritores comprometidos han investigado; que muchos mexicanos deberían saber." -Denise Dresser-

Nondual Love: Awakening to the Loving Nature of Reality
by A. H. AlmaasFrom beloved author and teacher A. H. Almaas, an exploration of love beyond the boundaries of the individual self, revealing that nondual love is the nature of everything, including ourselves.Love is a transformative aspect of the spiritual path—and, in fact, it is our very nature. A. H. Almaas takes us on a journey beyond a narrow, individual understanding of love to an exploration of what he calls the boundless dimension of Divine Love. This is not the kind of love that we feel toward somebody else; it is nondual, a love without boundaries. Or put another way, it is universal true nature experienced as love.By shifting our focus beyond our individual human experience to the experience of the whole of existence, we are able to see the true richness of the universe. All of reality takes on a quality of inner light, of softness and ease, of sweetness and holding. When we are open to the dimension of nondual love, we can relax and trust our inner ground that is also the ground of everything: our true nature, free from limitations—a sense of complete release, freedom, and delight, that is free of conflict, fear, insecurity, and worry. Almaas discusses the obstacles that make it difficult to awaken to true nature in this form, such as our belief in a separate self and our past conditioning. Each chapter includes an inquiry or practice, such as explorations of attachments and worldly desires as well as inquiries into union, surrender, and grace.
Non-Violence and Social Change
by J. S. Mathur“In this hurricane of annihilating material power mankind will not be able to save itself from self destruction unless we all of us manage to practise non-violence in our relations with our fellow-men.” — Arnold Toynbee "Humanity stands at cross-road today. Several scholars and statesmen are worried about the catastrophe that humanity faces if we do not act with restraint and reason. Eminent scholars are now advocating increasing relevance on Gandhian techniques. At such juncture, the papers presented by 46 scholars for the seminar on ‘Non-violence and Social Change’ held in 1971 are being published in the present volume with the hope that it rouses in the academic community a desire to study Gandhiji’s ideas in all its ramification."
Non-Violence
by Dada BhagwanThose seeking to lead a spiritual life may become curious as to what is ahimsa (non violence), and inspired to practice it. But understanding how to live in non violence is not as simple as it seems, and practicing no violence in daily life can quickly become bewildering. To someone just beginning to cultivate non-violence, daily interactions might even begin to feel like the very definition of conflict! In the book “Non-Violence”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan offers key understanding on how to define ahimsa (non violence) and how to avoid kashaya (internal self harm). Dadashri explains that kashaya is at the root of self harming, unhealthy relationships, and violence. Here, he teaches how to live in peace, offering profound knowledge of non violent communication, conflict resolution skills, and conflict management strategies.

Noe: A Father-Son Song of Love, Life, Illness, and Death
by Phil WolfsonWritten with clarity and grace, this memoir of an adolescent boy's four-year struggle with leukemia, his untimely death at sixteen, and the aftermath is presented from three perspectives. Using journals and recollection, Noe's father Phil Wolfson recalls the events chronologically. His son's chemotherapy journal offers a stricken teenager's private view of illness, his wrestling with such enormous stress while striving to live within the framework of "normal" expectations for adolescence. The third perspective derives from the author's realization that his intimate relationship with Noe continues after death. Channeling his son's spirit, the author writes in his place, sharing with readers a near-adult view of living with illness and losing the battle to survive it. Noe reveals the inner world of familial love and discord, Noe's own remarkable coping, and the extraordinary stress Noe's illness had on his younger brother. It describes the quest for emotional and spiritual support through therapy, contact with renowned alternative healers, and the use of the drug MDMA for enhancing relationships. With poignant descriptions of an assisted dying process, Noe moves beyond a model of bereavement to offer a reminder of love's transcendence.
Nobre Uso do Dinheiro
by Dada BhagwanNo livro “Nobre Uso do Dinheiro”, o Gnani Purush (personificação do Conhecimento de “Quem sou Eu”) Dada Bhagwan explica que a mais elevada caridade é oferecer felicidade aos outros, pois “quando você dá felicidade aos outros, recebe felicidade em troca”. Dadashri explica que, entre as muitas outras formas de ser mais feliz, a forma mais simples de “comprar felicidade” é doar dinheiro, principalmente na forma de doações anônimas. Dadashri fornece respostas para perguntas como: “Por que é importante fazer caridade?” “Quais são as razões para fazer uma doação anônima?” “Das muitas instituições de caridade para doar, quais são as melhores ?” “Fazer caridade faz parte de uma vida espiritual?” Entre os muitos livros espirituais disponíveis hoje, é raro encontrar orientação espiritual relacionada ao uso mais elevado do dinheiro - doações e caridade. Este livro é uma fonte de pesquisa que oferece conselhos espirituais sobre como fazer uma doação e por que fazer uma doação anônima certamente será inestimável.
